006 - Lauren Tepfer

006 - Lauren Tepfer is the sixth in an ongoing collaboration of Setanta Books with Open Doors Gallery publishing the work of emerging photographers.

'Growing up with a creative mind in the boundaries of a town populated by less than 7,000, I’ve learned to create my own magic and nurture it myself. To me, capturing my suburban surroundings in photographic form is like a digital love letter. I connect most to genuine and intimate settings and I feel that small towns are where most of that energy blossoms from. Aside from giving me good feelings, I hope that my suburban narratives can provide comfort for those growing up feeling lonely or unaccounted for.'
